Common Grounds to move to SugarBeat space

Common Grounds will soon leave its longtime LoDo home at 17th and Wazee streets and move over to the SugarBeat space -- across the street at 444 17th Street, in the Millennium Building. But the coffeehouse/winebar lost its liquor license when its lease ran out (there's a story there), so Common Grounds will have to go through another city hearing on April 16.

We're betting this is one hearing where everyone -- neighbors, businesses and city bureaucrats alike -- can find common ground. In the meantime, coffee's still on at both the original LoDo Common Grounds and the original original Common Grounds in Highland.
